Title: Blonde Venus
Grade: B-

With the exception of Blade Runner, the worst movie of the semester was still not terrible. If ever there was a reason to be angry at Hollywood for self-censorship (and not for violence/sexuality/etc.), this is it. The complete train-wreck of an ending highlights just how much studio interference hurts talented film-makers, by turning a possibly gender stereotype-breaking movie into a blase confirmation of it. Marlena Dietricht’s acting is one of the few redeeming features of this otherwise disappointing film.
